When sin takes over a nation – Carter Conlon
When sin takes over a nation, the end result is always confusion. Anger, accusation, and lust for control become the order of the day. Servanthood gives way to the desire to dominate. Sadly, democracy falls to dictatorship. There is only one way out. PRAY. (See Proverbs 29:2)

The Voice of Forgiveness is Louder – DL Moody
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times (Matthew 18:21-22).
Peter did not seem to think that he was in danger of falling into sin; his question was, How often should I forgive my brother? But very soon we hear that Peter has fallen. I can imagine that when he did fall, the sweet thought came to him of what the Master had said. The voice of sin may be loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.
